RE: if you got the choice for living which countrie you choice

Yes Im Australian and I agree. It costs $2000 AUD for an economy ticket to Europe and is 24 hours and two planes to get there. Also it is one of the most expensive countries in the world. Even the US is cheaper than here to live.

RE: Is being too patriotic similar to being ultra nationalist?

thumbs up Yup Bo. And most are terrified to throw off and free think or take up philosophy but just swap one dogma for another

RE: Is being too patriotic similar to being ultra nationalist?

I'm just shaking my head with some of the middle eastern countries when you dare to crticize or make a joke - chatting with Turks and Egyptians in particular. Eish!
In Australia gov bashing is de rigeur and we can take a joke!
So I think we have a good democracy even if a goofy government!

RE: Is being too patriotic similar to being ultra nationalist?

I think a good democracy can stand criticizm. Countries and individuals that can't take criticizm have much to be thin skinned and defensive about.
For this reason such individuals/countries become over zealous patriots and the start of nationalistic trends.

RE: Stop Smoking

ow does it work?

Nicorette gum contains nicotine. It is a type of medicine known as nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and is used to help smokers give up the habit.

Nicotine is the addictive substance present in tobacco. Smokers who try to give up often experience unpleasant withdrawal symptoms and cravings for cigarettes, because they are dependent on the nicotine in tobacco. Withdrawal symptoms can include irritability, headaches, restlessness, insomnia and difficulty concentrating. These, combined with cigarette cravings, are why it is difficult for some people to give up smoking.

Nicotine replacement therapies work by giving you a small amount of nicotine, but without the dangerous effects of inhaling tobacco smoke. This helps relieve the withdrawal symptoms and cravings for a cigarette that you get when you stop smoking, and allows you to get on with breaking the psychological habit of smoking. If you are physically addicted to nicotine, using NRT has been shown to almost double your chances of successfully quitting smoking.

The nicotine released from chewing Nicorette gum is absorbed into the bloodstream from the lining of your mouth and provides quick relief from cravings.

Nicorette gum is available in two strengths. The 2mg gum is suitable for people who smoke less than 20 cigarettes a day, or whose first cigarette of the day is more than 30 minutes after waking. The 4mg gum provides a larger dose of nicotine for people who are more dependent on nicotine, ie people who smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day, or whose first cigarette is within 30 minutes of waking.

NRT comes in many forms. There are factsheets on all these linked at the end of this page. Nicotine patches can be used to help prevent cravings for cigarettes, while nasal sprays, inhalators, chewing gum, tablets that dissolve under the tongue, and lozenges, are all forms that can be used instead of smoking when you get a cigarette craving.

As well as breaking the physical addiction, you also need to break the smoking habits you used to have. Try to avoid situations where you will be tempted to smoke, and remember to seek help and support whenever you feel like giving in to your cravings.
What is it used for?

Relief of withdrawal symptoms associated with giving up smoking.


If you have already quit smoking completely, Nicorette gum can be used to relieve cravings for a cigarette.

If you are not yet ready to stop smoking completely, Nicorette gum is also licensed to help you to cut down the number of cigarettes you smoke each day, by chewing the gum instead of having a cigarette. This can make it easier to eventually stop smoking completely.

RE: Stop Smoking



Looks like Australia doesn't have an issue with. Nicorette one of the most popular brands here. If it was even slightly dubious in this country it would not get though. We are very strict not like US from the tales my colleagues tell me with regards to FDA approval.

RE: Stop Smoking

Sorry I'm ignorant in the world of smoking but I did find this for you;
We reall do frown on smoking in this country and were the first in the world to pass plain packaging legislation a year ago

Australia Health Authorities are Completely Missing the Point on E-Cigarettes
Health authorities in Australia have banned the use of electronic cigarettes because, as they argue, vaping mimics smoking and encourages people to continue smoking.

According to an article in the Canberra Times: "Canberrans keen to try smokeless ''e-cigarettes'' are running a legal tightrope, with the product banned across Australia despite its increasing availability online. ... The Australian Medical Association said there was no evidence ''e-cigarettes'' helped people quit, and Victorian AMA president Harry Hemley warned the products posed a serious health risk. ... ACT Health said e-cigarettes also encouraged people to continue smoking behaviour. ''Because e-cigarettes mimic smoking in both design and use, the ACT Health Directorate does not support [their use],'' a spokeswoman said. ''The Health Directorate strongly advocates the de-normalisation of smoking and e-cigarettes are counterproductive to this goal.''"

RE: Should the United Nations Recognize A Palestinian State?

Or the WA Pilbara.



The Pilbara is a large, dry, thinly populated region in the north of Western Australia

The Pilbara covers an area of 502,000 km², which includes some of Earth's oldest rock formations. It includes landscapes of coastal plains and mountain ranges with cliffs and gorges. The major settlements of the region are Port Hedland, Karratha and Newman.

The area is known for its petroleum, natural gas and iron ore deposits, which contribute significantly to Western Australia's economy.

RE: Should the United Nations Recognize A Palestinian State?

But then we'd also have to shoot the easily manipulated masses, those that don't agree with us, those that wear glasses....I'm sounding more and more like Stalin

For those that are bothered - the legals behind the vexed issues of Terra Nullius, Colonialism, Mandates, Claims etc.

RE: Does free speech count on the Internet ?

How many children have you heard spout something disrespectful, troubling, or wrong and then defend themselves with their kindergarten knowledge of U.S. history, “I have free speech, I can say what I want?” I personally used the excuse extensively when I was young and even today when I work with children, they are quick to become constitutional lawyers when they are silenced. I have come to expect children to use the basic knowledge of what is at their disposal to defend themselves when they are wrong, they don’t know any better. My expectations as of late have changed though. I now sadly expect adults to do much of the same.

RE: Does free speech count on the Internet ?

exactally. I feel the art of debate is a mystery to many in general public land
